Abstract
The total concentration of PBDEs in the wastewater from fish plants ranged from 82 to 35055 pg/L which was higher than ambient concentrations measured in surface water samples in North America (6 to 158 pg/L). Based on the concentration of PDBES in the effluent, calculated daily discharge of PBDEs into the environment ranged from 0.03 to 13.34g per day. The concentrations of PBDEs in the solid fraction of the effluent from this study has been calculated to range from 0.78 ng/g for scallop, to 3505 ng/g for cod with herring having the second highest concentration of 1534 ng/g
